Antique rugs of this size and scale were seldom produced in the area after the beginning of the 20th century, making this one unique from a historical perspective. Due to its larger size for the period, it was more than likely a commissioned custom made rug.

These geometric design rugs stand out for their bold geometric designs and tribal elements created in breathtaking colors. Serapi rugs show an incredible range of designs and beautiful artistry.
